Pillowprince embrace satire and defiance with new single ‘R the Straights OK’

Oakland-based Pillowprince return with ‘R the Straights OK’, a sardonic, hook-laden indie-rock anthem that hilariously skewers homophobia. Drawing from real-life comments that band members have encountered over the years, the track transforms ignorance into defiance, flipping outdated rhetoric into something loud, unapologetic, and ridiculously catchy.

Accompanying the track is an outrageous and celebratory music video, featuring radiant figures from San Francisco’s queer and kink community. Pillowprince dial up the camp, chaos, and catharsis, proving that in a time of targeted attacks on queer and trans people, there’s nothing more powerful than joy, visibility, and unfiltered expression.

With their debut EP ‘pretty, baby!’ landing Spring 2025 via Dune Altar, Pillowprince are poised to shake up indie-rock with their distinct blend of irreverence, intensity, and uncompromising identity. ‘R the Straights OK’ is just the beginning—and it’s asking all the right questions.
